The film follows Muhammad (peace be upon him) first years as a
prophet starting with Islam's beginnings in Mecca in which the
Muslims are persecuted, the exodus to Medina, and ending with the
Muslims' triumphant return to Mecca. A number of crucial events,
such as the Battle of Badr and Battle of Uhud are depicted, and the
majority of the story is told from the point-of-view of peripheral
individuals such as Hamza ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib (Muhammad's
uncle), Abu Sufyan (the leader of Mecca) and his wife Hind bint
Utbah (enemies of Islam who later become Muslims themselves).
